Currently Alice 3.1 is a wonderful product but woefully limited in one area that makes it seriously inferior to Alice 2.x.

PLEASE can we have an extension mechanism for Alice 3.1. Just a simple API by which Alice 3.1 can inspect and call Java code in external JAR files coded to a specific set of interfaces. This would allow A3.1 to be extended in so many different ways that are currently not possible without migrating to Netbeans.
